Natalie demonstrated how valuable active hands and good anticipation can be on the defensive end at the Headliners Invitational. She consistently looked for opportunities to disrupt the offense, reading passing lanes and getting her hands on the basketball for deflections and steals. I liked that she didn’t have to rely on simply guarding the player with the ball to make an impact. Her awareness of what was happening around her allowed her to recognize passes and react quickly. Those deflections and steals helped create additional possessions for Team Fever while making it more difficult for opponents to move the basketball comfortably. Natalie’s defensive awareness and ability to anticipate plays were some of the strongest parts of her performance.

Natalie is an unsung hero in the backcourt who doesn’t get all the limelight but quietly contributes in every phase of the game, leading the team towards success.
